Two days ago I was writing a new blog post when I started wondering how long I had been blogging for. My first blog was a Dutch weblog which was part of my website. When my website and blog grew, and more of my readers were non-Dutch, I changed my blog to a dual language one, and finally, just my English blog here on blogger.

I had to search for my first weblog, I could't even remember what is was called! But as it is still online, it didn't take me long to find it. From there of course it was easy to find my very first blog post. The date? February 13, 2006.

Which means... today is my 10 year blogging anniversary!
It was fun to read some of my old blogs again, they are such a great documentation of my miniature explorations. Thank you for your support and all of your wonderful comments all this time!
I made a very small photo selection from some of my posts of the last ten years:

Hi Josje! That is a Wonderful Anniversary to celebrate! I want to say how thankful I am for your recent comment on my blog.... it saved me a World of trouble and despair! Yes, the second bulb was also a dead one! The Lights work!!! Thank you again for taking the time to share your wisdom and experience!!!As for the Beautiful pictures you have shown here from your long blogging history.... it always fascinates me how much we progress in ability and style and taste even in a short period of time! The early pictures are utterly charming! And yet one can see a definite progression in skill and details from then to now! Your recent work is so refined and elegant! It is always a pleasure and an inspiration to see your creations!!! Please keep posting! And Congratulations for all those years being a creative mini blogger!!!

Thank you Betsy, I am so happy the lights work! That saved you a lot of hassle and work. Yes it was fun for me too to see the progress I have made by looking at my old photos. I have to say I did not read all of my old posts, as I didn't have enough time, but it is fun to read about things I had almost forgotten about already.

Congratulations on ten years of blogging Josje, it is so great to have met you personally in 2012 and to do a class with you in Tune in 2014. I have enjoyed the times I have spent with you and hopefully there will be more of those in future years. And to have had the priviledge to see your beautiful work for real. May you have many more years of enjoying the hobby and sharing your beautiful work with us :-)

This was such a delicious little taste of some of your past work, Josje. I for one, am always inspired by what you are able to achieve and I consider you a Master at your craft. Congratulations on your blog anniversary, and I hope that the years ahead will bring you just as much Joy, as these past 10 years have.
